Ukraine has launched a massive attack on the Russian mainland, and has so far occupied hundreds of square kilometers and advanced more than 40 kilometers. Although Russia has begun a full-scale counterattack, it is clear that the battle line will have to be dragged on for some time. Why is Russia so lame? President Putin may not have dreamed that Zelensky had this trick and dared to launch a surprise attack on Russia.

Many Russians did not expect that the war would last for more than 800 days. After all, the battlefields were all in Ukraine before, and Russians were still safe in the country. But now the situation is really different. The war has spread to Russia, and many local Russians are running to Moscow with their families. Moreover, the Russian-Ukrainian border is only a few hundred kilometers away from Moscow, so the situation is really critical, especially since they may not have expected Ukraine to attack Russia.

Therefore, Russia is actually stretched in terms of manpower. A large number of elite troops have been sent to the front line, and there are not many elite soldiers in the country. So we see that many of those captured are child soldiers in their 18s and 19s. At the critical moment, Putin may have remembered Wagner's kindness.
